When Gmail stops working in Firefox 3.6 (and Thunderbird 3), Gmail stops being my mail provider, period. Poor Google, it must be soooo hard to maintain LEAST COMMON DENOMINATOR search results. #WORDPRESS DROPPING SUPPORT INTERNET EXPLORER PC#It took a while for the PC to wrest away personal control of computing. Something like Google Apps, however, you do NOT own, you don’t control the program code, they can take away the version you’re using at any time and leave you with nothing.ĭespite the allure and benefits of the cloud, in many ways we are reverting to the centralized-control days of the mainframe. #WORDPRESS DROPPING SUPPORT INTERNET EXPLORER WINDOWS#(Example, I still use Quicken 8 for DOS, cause the first Windows versions had smaller data fields – a deal breaker then, and I haven’t heard of any compelling improvements since.) So, here’s one problem with the “spring ahead of traditional software.” When you have an application that resides on YOUR computer, and that YOU own, you can use it forever, or at least as long as it’s use is not outweighed by the benefits of newer alternatives. So, come vesion 10, Google Apps will not be supported on my machine. Last I heard, Internet Explorer 9 will not work on XP. Those were my two cents, just because you’re old doesn’t mean you,re not good! There are plenty of choices out there just google it! Just kidding! For anyone thinking of following Google footsteps take a very hard look at it, or you’ll be loosing a lot of your custumers. In the meantime if someone refuses me service because I’m too old… whatever. ![]() #WORDPRESS DROPPING SUPPORT INTERNET EXPLORER UPDATE#Sure I will have to update sometime, but only until I think it’s absolutely necessary. I don’t need anyone to worry about my security, if I want to use an Older Clunky Browser so be it. Every website I go wants to connect to Google including this one! Facebook is following… I used to like them, until they became spyware. What happens if I have an emergency and I can”t get thru because I’m too old? Lawsuits, anyone. ![]() What Google or any other website need to do is to have separate servers to handle us, the old, the insecure, the slow, the whatever they want to call us. Older clunky browsers? Age discrimination anyone? That’s like McDonadl’s saying that they will no longer serve older custumers over 60 because they don’t understand the new menus or because they take too long to order. Support will be dropped on August 1, and Google notes that "may have trouble using certain features in Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Talk, Google Docs and Google Sites" from that day on, and that users may notice eventually that "these apps may stop working entirely". To put it in plain words: When Google develops new features and services, the company will not test them using the browsers they dropped support for. Dropping support does not mean that users will be blocked from using Google services, but it does mean that Google may develop and implement features that no longer work in those browsers. While everyone applauds the companies for dropping support for Internet Explorer 6, the feelings may be mixed when it comes to Google's announcement to discontinue support for additional browsers.Īccording to the official Gmail Blog, Google will drop support for the following browsers and their predecessors: Firefox 3.5, Internet Explorer 7 and Safari 3. Web companies like Google, WordPress or Facebook are suddenly realizing that old web browsers may have a serious impact on the support they offer. ![]()
